The DPF is of concern to me being that I’ve never seen a notification saying regen in progress. Assuming it comes up on the dash screen? Also noting that my transmission does stomp into park if a door is opened. Who does the software upgrade? Only a Jeep dealer?

The running of the fans is consistent, and it only happens when the oil temp creeps high. Driving aggressive around town or doing a freeway run. Prior to these issues I’d never followed all of the temps too closely so have no baseline to refer to. It’s annoying because if the oil temps are considered normal, why are the fans acting like they’re not? The different opening temps of the thermostat is very interesting.

I’ll check what oil the mechanics have been using. My coolant has always been green not red as far as I remember? It’s always been bled properly. It’s nice and clear in the reservoir now. The bottle itself is quite dark and stained so was thinking of putting swapping that out with a new cap on the list.

I have a Bluetooth OBD with JScan. I’ve sniffer around it and made a few basic changes and used it to monitor things. Haven’t noticed anywhere for oil pressure. What’s considered normal?

Thanks a bunch all.

You mentioned that the coolant is clear in the bottle .Usually when its clear
its the end of the coolants life! ! Or plain water in it .Yes it should be a green HOAT based product however color doesnt always now dictate whether correct or not!
